New Old Stuff

If you go through the World's Largest Toy Museum right now you will see several of these signs. The reason? We just recently acquired the contents of a toy museum at Natural Bridge, VA. We now have the joyous task of finding room in what many folks already consider a "full" museum for these 45,000 additional items. I never cease to marvel at the creative ways Tom Beck and Raine Clotfelter make space appear where none seemed to be before. Before this building was a museum it used to be a restaurant and guess what - a walk-in freezer makes a quite nice display area. Who knew?

With the addition of these new items, we now have toys that go clear back to the 1700s. We have a lot if international dolls and all kinds of other toys that make visiting the World's Largest Toy Museum an even more incredible experience. Even our gift shop has a number of additions from this acquisition expanding what we have to offer.

As we get various displays set up, I'll be posting photos on our "World's Largest Toy Museum" Facebook page for you to enjoy. Keep in mind, though, those snapshots are no comparison to the wonderful fun of seeing over a million toys as you journey through time here at the museum. Looking forward to seeing you.
